Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres fails to make the cut in the new manager's maiden Swedish national squad, whereas Liverpool forward the talented attacker secured selection

The Arsenal forward is due to undergo further medical tests in the coming days amid worries of a muscle problem during Arsenal's English top flight victory at Burnley last weekend

Gyokeres sat out the Gunners' European victory against the Czech side on Tuesday

Alexander Isak Back in Action

The Liverpool striker, absent from action since late October due to muscle issues, made the squad for the World Cup fixtures against Switzerland (November 15th) and Slovenia (18 November)

Other England-based Inclusions

  • Tottenham playmaker the young talent, currently rehabilitating after a head knock
  • Magpies winger Anthony Elanga

These players are among Potter's England-based contingent named by former multiple English clubs coach the new Swedish coach

Potter's Hiring

Potter was appointed by Sweden originally temporarily on 20 October, under a month following leaving by the Hammers

Former coach Jon Dahl Tomasson lost his job after Sweden's defeat against Kosovo in mid-October, a result which rendered automatic qualification in Group B unattainable

Current Standing

The Swedish team find themselves last place in their qualifying group having just a single point in their opening four games

Even if they fail to secure second place, they may yet participate in the World Cup play-offs because of their results during the previous UEFA competition
